IPC: G09B29/06
Abstract: 131,235. Joseph, O. E. Feb. 11, 1919. Moving-map and like indicators for vehicdes.-- In an indicator in which a strip map is wound from one reel to another at a speed proportional to that of the vehicle, the reels are held frictionally between end disks which are driven in opposite directions to maintain the map under tension, and the feed movement is made by friction grip rollers between which the map passes. As described, the movements of the disks and feed-rollers are intermittent. The reels (not shown) are held between corresponding pairs of disks 78, 81. A flexible shaft or electrical driving means connected to the end 86 of a spindle drives a friction-wheel 84 at a speed proportional to that of the vehicle. The wheel 84 bears against the face of a friction disk 69 under adjustable spring pressure, and its position may be adjusted radially across the face of the disk, to adjust the speed of the disk. The end of the spindle of the disk 69 has an eccentrically disposed pin 73 connected by a link 75 to a plate 52, whereby rotation of the disk reciprocates the plate 52 on tongue supports 50 embraced by slots in the plate. The plate carries pairs of pawls 82 co-operating with ratchet wheels 55 on the spindles of the disks 78, which are thus given step-by-step rotation in opposite directions, and maintain tension in the map strip. The strip passes from reel to reel over guide-rollers (not shown), the spindles of which rest in slots 45, and between feed-rollers 67 which grip the map under the action of a spring. The plate 52 carries four pawls 61 adapted to engage a ratchet wheel 63 on the spindle 65 of one of the feed-rollers. Two only of the pawls 61 are in engagement at a time, the other two being held out of engagement by fingers on an annular plate 57 angularly movable by a projection 58 so that either pair of pawls 61 may be thrown into engagement. The two pairs of pawls drive the wheel 63 in opposite directions, so that the map may be fed in either direction at will. The map shows through a removable glazed cover on the instrument casing, a lamp 29 is provided to illuminate the map at night, and the spindles of the disks 78 and feed-rollers are provided with milled heads 23, 79 to allow manual movement of the map.

Sheet-like articles are transferred from one position to another by a reciprocating suction carrier, the movements of which actuate means for establishing suction at the pick-up position, and for establishing compressed air at the release position. As described, fragile wafers are picked up from stacks at two outer stations 11a, 11b alternately, and they are delivered to a central position where a conveyer takes them to a creaming machine or a sandwich builder. Pile tables.-At each station 11a, 11b the wafers are stacked between side guides on a pallet 28 attached to a screw 29 engaging a nut 31 which can be rotated through ratchet means by an air cylinder 30. The air cylinder 30 is operated by a solenoid which is controlled by a photo-cell or other electric means which responds to the height of the stack, and causes the pallet 28 to be raised by a distance equivalent to the thickness of wafer each time a wafer is removed from the stack. The pallet can be lowered for stack replenishment by manual pneumatic, or electric means. Separators.-A carrier 12 is adapted to be reciprocated on rollers 14 along guides in a fixed frame 10 by means of a pneumatic cylinder device 16 connected thereto at 17, and comprises two spaced heads 12a, 12b connected by a duct 13.

Abstract: 1384735 Porous coated sheet materials BADISCHE ANILIN-& SODA-FABRIK AG 24 March 1972 [25 March 1971] 13824/72 Heading B2E [Also in Division D1] Sheet materials capable of absorption and desorption of moisture vapour are produced by applying to substrate in an amount of 0.5-5 parts by weight per part by weight of substrate polymers containing at least 15 mole percent of free carboxyl groups directly attached 'to carbon atoms carrying at least one hydrogen atom in addition to the carboxyl group, and heating the substrate materials, together with the polymers applied thereto, to cross-linking temperature. Suitable polymers are acrylic acid homopolymers or a copolymer containing at least 15 mole percent of acrylic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid or itaconic acid. Suitable comonomers which may be polymerised with these unsaturated acids are acrylates or methacrylates, vinyl esters, styrene, acrylonitrile, ethylene, propylene. A polymer may be applied together with a catalyst for a cross-linking reaction, e.g. ammonia or primary, secondary or tertiary amines. The polymer may be applied as an aqueous solution or dispersion, optionally together with aqueous solutions or dispersions of other polymers. The substrate may be non-woven fabric, woven or knitted fabric, felts, woven netting, foamed webs and may consist of polyamide, polyacrylonitrile, either alone or blended with other materials. The polymer may be applied by dipping, brushcoating, casting, spraying or padding, or by rolling. The cross-linking reaction may be effected in a press, the surface of the pressed material thereby 'being smoothed or grained, or alternatively the surface may be buffed or it may be smoothed in a subsequent pressing operation. At least some of the free acid groups still remaining after the cross-linking reaction may be utilised, e.g. by conversion to sodium salts or by treatment with ammonia gas. Alternatively the remaining free carboxyl groups after cross-linking may be reacted with polyfunctional compounds before they are neutralised to completion, e.g. they may be reacted with polyfunctional amines, isocyanates or polyvalent metal ions such as aluminium, chromium or calcium ions. The products may be used in upholstery or clothing, e.g. shoe uppers. There may be added to an aqueous solution of polyacrylic acid a dispersion based on polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl chloride, polyacrylate, polyvinyl ester or a polydiene. Further additives to the polymers may comprise plasticisers, fillers; dyes, fungicides; flame-proofing agents, finely ground foams, asbestos fibres. In a typical example a non-woven fabric made by needle-punching polycaprolactam staple fibres is passed through a bath consisting of an aqueous dispersion of polyacrylic acid containing diethanol amine, squeezed between rollers to remove excess liquor, dried in air at 80C and then maintained at 170C in air for 20 minutes. The web is then neutralised in 1% soda solution at room temperature.
